Le Divina Premium Crystal Candles

Our goal is to raise $27,000 in pre-seed funding to expand beyond just a candle company and into a ritual lifestyle line to inspire, encourage and  unite our community globally.

• Le Divina is a toxin free , premium fragrance candle company for multi- passionate artists who incorporate ritual products to their self care and manifestation practices. 
• Our mission is to educate our community about cultural and indigenous ritual practices.
• Most wellness products are incredibly appropriated and feel the education of honoring the original roots are never mentioned or financially benefit those specific communities. 
• We want to incorporate our premium fragrances yet still hold space for the cultural origin and inform our clients through our packaging. We source and use vendors from around the world that create unique products that are originators of those cultural ritual products. 

WHY ARE WE EXPANDING?

Providing sulfate free, phthalate free, real fragrances, cotton wick ,  vegan-friendly  , crystals and premium fragrances for years candle have been our sole mission and focus since 2018.

But after a few years after launching our first collection so many things have changed: the amount of stress , the demand for self care, the standards for products we put into our body or surround ourselves have increased.

People want community, crave inspiration and no matter what -a healthy lifestyle and mindset is a non-negotiable priority for people. 

• U.S. retail sales of candle products are estimated at approximately $3.14 billion annually. 
• Crystals to date today, is a $1 billion+ industry, and continues to grow. 

The demand for premium ritual based products is a part of the wellness lifestyle community. 

We focus on Community, not Customers. Le Divina focuses on subconscious reprogramming, healing generational curses, educating the roots of indigenous practices, while providing premium fragrances.

We are raising $27,000 to help us fund the growth of Le Divina in 3 ways:

• Diversify our product offerings to more ritual based products (palo santo, crystal, )
• Elevate our social media presence with expert social media and PR teams to showcase Le Divina in creative, interactive, and authentic ways.
• Fulfill the orders of expanding wholesale community as well as growing to membership bases. 

• Of all VC funding over the past decade, Latinx women-led startups have raised only 0.32 percent while black women have raised only .0006 percent. 

As a POC, minority owned female business- we are the originators of these cultural products that are appropriated in the wellness market-yet as you can see from the numbers we don't benefit. We want to be a part of raising financial

Representation is important- and having that personal cultural tie and the commitment to educate. 

The mission of Le Divina is through admiration of cultural wellness practices, we also educate and humanize social causes that are important today. And inspire us to come together, to move pass divisiveness and create positive changes in the world. We want to encourage women to keep going, to never give up and to have that winning spirit through our products.  

Why are you seeking funding and how will you spend the funding?
